Which unbuilt project makes you fantasize?

Manu Bar, with regard to the two OMA projects you like, look very closely now at Le Corbusier's Palais des Congrès à Strasbourg, 1964 (unexecuted) for the true inspiration for both these projects.
I built a computer model of the Palais in 1990 and I/Arcadia - Architectural CAD Services published slides and drawings in 1991--Harvard's Loeb Library purchased both. I think Koolhaas subsequently saw this stuff there.
You'll be able to read some more about the Palais des Congrès and the Danteum as well in Quondam Banquet of Virtual Sachlichkeit, forthcoming late summer 2005.
